Patrick K. Smith, PhD, CSP, CEM
Director of Sustainability Services
Patrick is an environmental, health and safety professional. He has experience working on projects related to process safety, fire protection, worker safety, continuous improvement, energy management, and risk management in a variety of settings. Patrick has conducted a variety of assessments at over 80 manufacturing and industrial facilities, hospitals, and schools, identifying process and facility improvements related to fire protection, worker safety, ergonomics, and energy management.
He has led ergonomic assessments during the reworking of manufacturing processes as part of a larger continuous improvement effort. Patrick has led fire protection and safety assessments in general manufacturing environments. He has also conducted energy assessments in industrial, commercial, correctional, and K-12 settings, identifying cost effective conservation measures relating to utility billing, energy, natural gas, and water usage.
Patrick has a background in data analytics and management information systems, with experience managing and analyzing large data sets for a range of projects. He has modeling experience on topics ranging from energy to fires and explosions.
Patrick was previously a Department of Homeland Security STEM Fellow and a Fellow at the Boots & Coots Center for Fire Safety & Pressure Control at Oklahoma State University.
Patrick is the Chapter Delegate and Central Arkansas Chairperson for ASSP. He is also a Six Sigma Green Belt and an Engineering Intern (EI).
